What was Canada like before the car? Horse-drawn vehicles were both numerous and diverse in Canada and their prevalence in the late 19th and early 20th Centuries were an important precursor to automobiles. Join Ashley Hardwick from the Remington Carriage Museum in Cardston, Alberta as she explores the impacts of transportation fueled by literal horsepower at the turn of the 20th century. 

This online talk will take place over Zoom and is part of the Canadian Automotive Museum's Third Thursday lecture series.

The Canadian Automotive Museum is a registered Canadian charity and a suggested donation of $10 goes toward covering the cost of hosting these virtual events.
